Lyrics
¡Araca la cana!
Ya estoy engriyao...
Un par de ojos negros me han engayolao.
Ojazos profundos, oscuros y bravos,
tajantes y fieros hieren al mirar,
con brillos de acero que van a matar.
De miedo al mirarlos el cuor me ha fayao.
¡Araca la cana! ya estoy engriyao.

Yo que anduve entreverao
en mil y una ocasión
y en todas he guapeao
yo que al bardo me he jugao
entero el corazón
sin asco ni cuidao.
Como un gil vengo a ensartarme
en esta daga que va a matarme
si es pa' creer que es cosa'e Dios
que al guapo más capaz
le faye el corazón.
English translation
Get the gray hair!
I'm already drunk...
A pair of black eyes have made me gummed up.
Deep, dark and fierce eyes,
sharp and fierce, wounding to look into,
with glints of steel that will kill.
From fear when I look at them, my heart has fainted.
Araca la cana! I'm already engriyao.

I who have been in the middle of things
on a thousand and one occasions
and in all of them I've been a guapeao
I who have gambled my whole heart
my whole heart
without disgust or care.
Like a fool I've come to skewer myself
in this dagger that's going to kill me
if it's to believe that it's God's doing
that the most capable handsome
to faye his heart.
